Mackenna Stewart : : February 2015

March 29, 2015 By Brad Jubin

Congratulations Mackenna and thank you for Always Playing IV Each Other!

Watch Mackenna’s inspiring story of leadership that aired on CBS Atlanta.

Mackenna Stewart February 2015

Excerpt from the APIVEO Player of the Month sponsored by Zaxby’s award ceremony;

Mackenna is already a gifted tennis player and I know she will earn a lot of awards and trophies to back that up. But that’s not why she’s standing up here today. At 7 years old, Mackenna is already a true leader. Mackenna already gets “it” and Mackenna already does “it”. “It” is love and concern translated into action. “It” is leadership. There isn’t an opportunity that comes up where Mackenna doesn’t finds a way to help. She is always stepping up and volunteering. Whether she’s at a tennis tournament with her sister or attending the youth ministry at church. Mackenna is not just at the front of the “how can I serve you line” she’s usually the reason there is a line! I recently got to see her in action. A few months ago we were at an event and someone brought a cookie cake. After watching Mackenna take her 5th piece of cake, I looked at my bride, Kristy, and said, “boy, that little girl can eat!!” Kristy looked at me and said, “she’s not eating it. She’s bringing it to all the guys at the front desk” …and she did that before she took her first bite!” That’s “putting others first” in action. That’s leadership. Well done Mackenna… You are a great leader! -Brad Jubin, APIVEO

Mackenna selected the Youth Ministry at Elizabeth Baptist Church as the recipient of the $1,000 donation provided by Zaxby’s.

Thank you Coach Kenny Thorne, Chris Eubanks, the GA Tech Tennis Team, Zaxby’s, Bobby Dibble, Jeff McPhail, CBS Atlanta, and Larry Smith for your enthusiasm and support. You have made a young girl feel appreciated and loved. That’s what is means to Always Play IV Each Other!

TESTIMONIALS

“It's my absolute pleasure to get everyone on board that I can! In the beginning, I was tempted to keep APIVEO as just our team thing. But after seeing the positive impact on our kids, I wanted to make sure every coach I could reach had the opportunity to use the program with their kids. What you've created has helped me to be a real coach and I am grateful for your leadership. As I tell anyone who will listen, I really don't know much about baseball. But I want to use the skills I do have to serve those around me. APIVEO is helping me to do just that!”

Team Manager Auburn Dixie Baseball/Softball Assoc.

“As Principal of our school, I highly and enthusiastically recommend APIVEO as an organization and Mr. Brad Jubin and as an individual who sincerely is "Being The Example." If you want students and adults to see and experience what authentic leadership is all about, give Mr. Jubin a call and find the time to meet with him. As one student told me after Chapel, "Man...Mr. Richards, that guy rocks!" I agreed.”
